Saturday

Saturday morning, we met Nonie at the Turkey Hill in Ephrata and handed her the Bean, who spent the day in Reading with her, Poppy & Jordon. Meanwhile, Shawn & I worked strenuously at emptying all our kitchen cabinets and drawers. Some of the boxes went into the garage while others went into the cupboards in our laundry room. We left very few things out for this week (but we made sure we could have easy access to our supplies if we really needed anything) in preparation for our new kitchen. The contractors are supposed to start gutting our old cabinets on Presidents' Day, so this was our last weekend to work since Shawn's helping Grandma & Grandpa Ginder move to Florida this weekend. All I can say is that I had no idea we had this much stuff!!! I'm not even a gourmet chef, and I have more gadets & utensils, pots & pans, and dishes than most restaurants need! :) :) :) We got it all done, though, and I'm anxious for our new kitchen to arrive.

After we were finished, we talked about starting to put the closet organizer in what will be Joshua's new room, but we were both beat. So instead we headed to Barnes & Nobles, a place we used to love visiting and don't get to go to anymore since we feel it's too quiet of an atmosphere for Joshua. We sat down with our drinks and five baby name books each, looking up middle names for girls and boys names. We now have a short list that we agreed on for each, and we're anxious to find out what we'll have - on Valentine's Day we'll know!

We headed up to Berks County and ate a delicious dinner with Nonie & Poppy, including a pork roast, potato & cheese soufflé, green beans, soft bread, pear salad and brownies for dessert. We hung out with them and chatted while the boys continued to play until about 8:30 when we decided to call it a night. Thanks for watching Joshua & inviting us over for dinner! We had a great time!
